So far from being the club that gives young talent a chance, we're now the club that packs the midfield and tries to sneak a 0-0 or 1-0 at a side in the league below.

 

Even if we were weren't looking at relegation, the complete fear to play football is fcking embarrassing.

 

IMO there's nothing wrong with winning games like that if it works. Which, for us, it clearly doesn't.

I imagine we might play something like that, although I can see MP pushing Romeu deeper and possibly moving Boufal into a LWB role as he did perviously to make sure Bertrand can tuck in nice and tight and form a solid back six.

 

MP's tactics will probably be to sit and hold for the 0-0 and hope to being them back to ours so we can repeat the tactic and hope for pens.
